I believe there are a number of people who are simply saying that there is no viable solution to the problem so you need to work around it. You can try to confront The Villages Entertainment but I can't imagine a scenario where they will actually do anything. I think everyone agrees that roping off seats at 3:00PM is wrong/obnoxious/inconsiderate/rude. I previously suggested forming a committee to personally address the issue with The Villages Entertainment - perhaps you can shame them into enforcing their own rules. If you can't then I don't see any remedy to the problem. When people say there is no problem I think they really mean there is no problem for them as they are resigned to the situation and have worked around it. As others have suggested/demonstrated, if you see roped off seats (with nobody present) then take a seat as you have the high ground with regards to the "rules". I believe the only "confrontation" you will see from the Villages Entertainment is when people put seats that encroach on the aisles as that is a safety issue.

If you don't mind doing all those things, wonderful for you! But many people obviously feel differently. Go ahead and go to the shows early, bring your chairs, whatever. Just stop trying to convince others that they should feel the same way.
